I wonder what this means for Windows drivers, because the performance of Linux drivers was very close to them. And now the Linux performance got better.

The 310 drivers for Windows include a significant performance boost there, too, according to the NVIDIA driver changelog. It took all of 10 seconds to Google that, likely less time than it took you to write your post. They're showing very significant improvements for some poorly-written games (e.g. Skyrim) and a still respectable 3-6% improvement for a number of already well-optimized (mostly hardware-limited) games. (All on Direct3D; NVIDIA didn't mention OpenGL performance numbers for Windows for these drivers.)

nvidia mentioned? so this are nvidias statements about the performance increase and no benchmarks? in that case i would eat that claims carefully.
